In poker, as in chess, you don’t need to be physically strong.
What then is the reason that there is a men's and women's chess league separately? I also noticed that there are tournaments on Pokerstars where only women can participate.
For some reason, men do better in poker. I realize that there are a lot more male poker players than women, but how many women are in the top 100? Not even a disproportionate number of players can explain that.
In all time money list (
https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/ranking/all-time-money-list/) there is only one woman in the top 100 players, Vanessa Selbst which is in the 74th position on that list. This ranking list includes open and invitational events without any restrictions on the buyin. Recurring (regular daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) events are not included.
What is the reason then? Can we conclude that there are more geniuses among men than geniuses among women?
